Pre-allocates the capture target to the specified size. This method is typically used when the target is defined as a file. For best capture results, always capture to a defragmented, pre-allocated capture file that is larger than the size of the capture data.
If the method fails, an error is raised. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.
